Description
- This invention relates to a filter used in a frequency range from VHF band to relatively low frequency microwave band.
- Conventionally, this kind of filter is constructed as disclosed in the Japanese Laid-open Patent Application No. 58-9401. The structure is shown in FIGs. 1 and 2, which show a dielectric 101, through-
holes 102, an outer conductor ofconductive film 103 disposed on the side of the dielectric 101, inner conductors ofconductive film 104 surrounding the through-holes 102,end surfaces 105 and 106 short-circuiting conductor ofconductive film 107 provided on the end surface 106,coupling capacitors 108a and 108b, input andoutput terminals 109a and 109b, and acavity 110. Theend surface 105 is open. Therefore, two 1/4 wavelength resonant units are composed by the.inner conductor 104,outer conductor 103, short-circuiting conductor 107, and intervening dielectric 101. These two resonant units are coupled together via thecavity 110, and the coupling coefficient is determined by the shape of thecavity 110. The input andoutput terminals 109a and 109b are electrically connected to theinner conductor 104 at theopen end plane 105 via thecoupling capacitors 108a and 108b, respectively, thereby making up a filter as a whole. - In such conventional construction, however, since the cavity is needed for coupling, the space occupied by the cavity is an obstacle for reducing the size of the filter. Since the dielectric to compose the filter is integral, it is impossible to evaluate each of the resonant units. If filters having different performances were required, different dielectric blocks having different shapes corresponding to such requirements must be prepared, which reduces productivity. Since the cavity for coupling is exposed outside the filter, the filter will be easily affected by the environmental conditions.
- It is hence a primary object of this invention to provide a semi-coaxial dielectric filter that is small in size but is excellent in mass producibility at low cost.
- It is another object of this invention to provide a semi-coaxial dielectric filter that is stable, or less susceptible to effects of the environment outside the filter.
- These objects can be achieved by a filter comprising at least two independent resonators coupled to each other via coupling windows. Each of the resonators comprises a tubular dielectric having at least one flat side surface and a through-hole in the axial direction, an inner conductive film provided on the wall forming the through-hole, and an outer conductive film provided on side surfaces of the tubular dielectric, thereby to resonate in TEM-mode in the axial direction due to cooperation of the inner and outer conductive films and the dielectric intervening therebetween. Each of the resonators is further provided at the flat side surface with at least one coupling window at which the conductive film is removed. The resonators are connected to contact at the flat side surfaces so that the coupling windows oppose to each other, thereby to construct the filter in which the resonators are coupled with each other via electromagnetic field through the coupling windows.
- With this structure, the size of the filter becomes small because the size is merely the sum of the sizes of the resonators. The performances of the resonators can be evaluated independently to each other. Since the coupling coefficient can be changed by merely changing the shape or the position of the coupling window, filters having a variety of performances can be easily obtained at a low cost, resulting in high productivity. Since the electromagnetic field contributing to the filter operation is substantially distributed within the dielectric, the filter is hardly affected by the environment outside the filter.

- FIGs. 3 and 4 are a side sectional view and a perspective view of a semi-coaxial dielectric resonator as a construction element of a semi-coaxial dielectric filter of this invention. This resonator comprises a dielectric 1 of parallelepiped shape, a cylindrical through-
hole 2, acoupling surface 3 having a coupling window 6, aninner conductor 4 of conductive film provided on the wall forming the through-hole 2, anouter conductor 5 of conductive film provided on aside surfaces 7,end surfaces circuiting conductor 10 of conductive film provided on theend surface 9. - The dielectric 1 has the through-
hole 2 extending in the axial direction, and its oneend surface 8 is open while theother end surface 9 is provided with the short-circuiting conductor 10 for short-circuiting, or electrically connecting theinner conductor 4 and theouter conductor 5. - The resonator shown in FIGs. 3 and 4 is a 1/4 wavelength resonator of TEM mode being composed of the
inner conductor 4, theouter conductor 5, the short-circuiting conductor 10, and the intervening dielectric 1. - The
length 1 in the axial direction of the resonator is expressed as: -
- (εr : dielectric constant)
- As is well known, in the 1/4 wavelength resonator, the electric field is intense at the part closer to the
open end 8 and the magnetic field is intense at the part closer to the short-circuiting end 9 in the dielectric 1. The conductive film is very thin, being about tens of micrometers. - FIGs. 5 and 6 show a semi-coaxial dielectric filter constructed by two 1/4 wavelength semi-coaxial dielectric resonators shown in FIGs. 3 and 4. The two
resonators 13i and 13o are disposed so that theircoupling surfaces 3 having coupling windows 6 contact each other, with the respectiveouter conductors 5 being electrically connected and mechanically fixed to each other with a solder or aconductive adhesive 14. In this arrangement, theresonators 13i and 13o are coupled with each other via electromagnetic field through the respective coupling windows 6. Supposing the coupling efficiency by electric field coupling to be ke and that by magnetic field coupling to be km, the total coupling efficiency k is expressed as follows: - As explained above, when the coupling window 6 is disposed closer to the
open end surface 8, the total coupling efficiency k is dominated by ke, but on the other hand when it is disposed closer to the short-circuiting end surface 9, km becomes dominant. Input andoutput terminals 12i and 12o are electrically connected at theopen end surfaces 8 to theinner conductors 4 of theresonators 13i and 13o through coupling capacitors lli and llo, respectively, thereby constructing the two-stage filter. Each of the capacitors lli and 11o may be either a lumped constant or semi-lumped constant capacitor. - The capacitance of the coupling capacitor is expressed as follows:
-
-
- ωo = 2πfo fo : center frequency of the filter
- Cr =
- Lr =
- R : resistance of the terminations at the ends of the filter
- K : impedance-inverter at the ends of the filter
- FIG. 7 shows an embodiment of filter in which three resonators are used. As shown in the figure, in the case of a filter having three or more stages, the
inner resonator 13m has twocoupling surfaces 3a and 3b which respectively have coupling windows 6a and 6b. Through the respective coupling windows 6a and 6b, the inner resonator is coupled with theresonators 13i and 13o at both sides thereof via electromagnetic field. The capacitance of each of the input and output coupling capacitors lli and llo and the resonator length ℓ' of each of the input andoutput side resonators 13i and 13o are determined by the formulas applied to the embodiment in FIGs. 5 and 6. The resonator length ℓ of theinner resonator 13m is ℓ = λg/4. - FIG. 8 shows an example of the shape of the coupling window 6. This coupling window 6 is rectangular disposed closer to the short-circuiting
end surface 9, and its one side is on the short-circuitingend surface 9. FIG. 9 shows changes in the coupling coefficient k when the width W1 and the length Ll of the coupling window 6 in FIG. 8 are varied, under condition of εr = 36, ℓ = 13 mm, w (width of the resonator) = 10 mm, and a (diameter of the through-hole = 3 mm. If - FIG. 10 shows another example of the shape of the coupling window 6. The coupling window 6 is rectangular one side of which is parallel to the
end surface 9, and is isolated on thecoupling surface 3. FIG. 11 shows changes in the coupling coefficient k when the length H and the average distance L2 from theend surface 9 of the coupling window 6 in FIG. 10 are varied, under condition of εr = 36, 1 = 13 mm, w = 10 mm, a = 3 mm, and W2 (width of the window 6) = 5 mm. - Considering the results shown in FIGs. 8 to 11, the coupling coefficient k of 0.007 to 0.020 can be.achieved by the shape in FIG. 8, and k of 0.015 to 0.035, in FIG. 10. That is, even by mainly using the magnetic field coupling by disposing the coupling window 6 closer to the short-circuiting
end surface 9, a sufficient coupling coefficient for composing a filter can be obtained. This is effective to prevent the coupling coefficient from being affected by the environment outside the filter. - FIGs.12 to 14 show a resonator having a resonance frequency variable mechanism. FIGs. 12 and 13 are a side sectional view and a top view of the resonator, and FIG. 14 is a top view when a
dielectric rotor 15 and ashaft 19 are disconnected from the resonator. Theinner conductor 4 is electrically connected with the inner conductoropen end electrode 17 provided on theopen end surface 8. Therotor 15 installed closely to theopen end surface 8 has a semi-disk-shapedrotor electrode 16 on its upper surface which is not opposed to theopen end surface 8. An inner part of thisrotor electrode 16. is extended to the lower surface of therotor 15 so as to be in contact with and thus electrically connected with the inner conductoropen end electrode 17. On the other hand, an outer conductoropen end electrode 18 provided on a part of theopen end surface 8 is electrically connected with theouter conductor 5. Therefore, therotor electrode 16, the outer conductoropen end electrode 18 and thedielectric.rotor 15 placed therebetween construct a variable capacitor. Therotor 15 is fixed to ashaft 19 which is rotatably inserted into the through-hole. When therotor 15 is rotated by rotating theshaft 19, the area of therotor electrode 16 overlapping the outer conductoropen end electrode 18 changes, so that the capacitance of the variable capacitor is varied, which permits fine adjustment of the resonance frequency. When a filter is constructed by using the resonators equipped with this resonance frequency variable mechanism, the filter can be easily adjusted.
